What has 2 legs, runs 24/7 and never gets anywhere?

“Real estate agents” was the answer that I shouted as I laughed out loud.

It’s my version of a riddle from the Batman TV series of the 1960’s. Like all good jokes, there is a slice of truth in it.

Almost every agent that I know wants more leads on these terms. They don’t want to pay big bucks for the leads AND they don’t want to have to do it themselves. So, they do a lot of marketing “type-things” and never get anywhere.

Well, I’m here to tell you it’s time to lace up the work boots or get your wallet out.

That’s right. You can’t get inexpensive leads that someone else generates for you. Because lead generation is a skill that most people can’t learn without some help.

Here’s where most agents mess up with Facebook Ads

They don’t know what to say

They don’t know where to deliver the message

Which eventually results in you quitting lead generation or being in a perpetual state of learning.

You probably have colleagues like this. Always reading books and participating in Fakebook groups. Yet, never implementing because they are afraid to fail again.

It sucks to feel that way.

I believe that the best marketing comes from your authenticity, that’s why I don’t offer leads as a service. Instead, I want to give you the skill to do it on your own.

And as long as you are handy with the computer, it’s not that hard to learn.

You could do it as I did by spending tens of thousands of dollars (and hours) over the last five years. Or, you can buy my Facebook Ad Secrets course which will bring you up to speed in less than one day.

In the course, I solve your two biggest problems for lead generation.

First, I give you my Secret Facebook Ad Targeting formula. I’ve literally spent thousands of dollars working with experts and in testing. This formula consistently gets my ads to the right people so my cost is below average and my lead count is hight.

Second, I throw in a copy of my latest book, Kill Cold Calls. This book tells you exactly what to say to get people to see you as the local, real estate expert.

The course normally sells for $150 and the book is $20 on Amazon for the paperback.
